[The Shawshank Redemption] Converted

"Wayley, today's newspaper...Wayley?" Byron habitually called twice before he remembered, oh, the subordinate with shiny blond hair asked for leave to get married.

As a relative of the woman, Trout naturally couldn't continue to stick to his post. For a while, Byron couldn't find a man who could be placed in the sending and receiving office to check the letters.

"Forget it, the patrol list is finally arranged, I will go to find it myself, it will only take an afternoon..."

The lonely Captain Hadley stood up, moved his neck stiff from sitting for a long time, and walked around to the mail room separated by a wall.

All kinds of newsletters and letters from newspapers and periodicals were neatly stacked in different categories on the large wooden table of the same style as the captain's office.

It was easy to pick out the required materials, and when Byron was about to leave, he saw a stack of unsealed letters, all of which had been stamped and were obviously just waiting to be mailed.

With a quick stroke, the sender's information appeared in front of Mr. Captain one by one, his eyes suddenly fixed on the familiar name, he hesitated again and again, and carefully pulled out the letter paper.

'Dear Mr. Congressman, hello, No.20 has sincerely applied for you eight times...'

After a while, he refolded the letter paper according to the creases, slowly stuffed it into the envelope, looked at the "Maine Capitol Building, Augusta City, ME04330" in the mail receiving column, and fought with those old slickers a few times. Byron, who met for the first time, shook his head helplessly.

"Only relying on writing letters, but some people survived..."

Mr. Captain couldn't remember clearly, whether it took Andy five years or more to move through the stones, impress or bore the hard-hearted congressmen.

Sitting back in his armchair, Byron unscrewed the lock on the bottom drawer, and took out the somewhat crooked "Cheats for Customs Clearance", and read through it again. He rubbed the stretched veins on his temples, and he had a plan in his mind.

First, the "windfall" he inherited from his older brother Brady Hadley may finally find a suitable home.

Second, Alice Reed, who always appears side by side with Andy, looks really annoying, so it's better to send it out as soon as possible, lest he earn another ticket to Zihuatanejo.

Thinking like this, Mr. Captain pulled out a blank piece of paper, changed the pen to his left hand, and wrote like a god.

In less than half an hour, a well-worded official document was released. After double-checking that there were no omissions, Byron dried the ink, folded it, and put it in an envelope. He only waited for him to go to Augusta on business next week and mail it by the way.

He was thinking about what pseudonym he should give when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, subconsciously put down his pen and looked up, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart: "It's so dangerous..."

Sensitively capturing the other party's flash of surprise, Andy asked, "Why, Captain Hadley, I didn't expect it to be me?"

Byron quickly adjusted his mood, and said in a low voice, "I'm really afraid of seeing you... After all, once Mr. Steven appears on stage, I don't think I can avoid it. It's fate to change the script."

Now that there is no one next door, Byron is confident and bold, using a fake identity to tease his friend.

Looking at each other with a smile, he continued to ask: "What do you want from me? It can't be true. Have you got a new idea?"

Shaking his head, Andy walked to the desk, lightly removed the blueprint covered above, picked up the stone hammer that had been impounded indefinitely, looked directly at Byron who didn't know where he was, and said, "Sir, I want to How many points do you need to apply to change the cell?"

The other party didn't answer the question: "Why do you want to change suddenly? Among the single cells, yours is the most spacious..."

"Next door is the drainage pipe. It's cold and damp. It's the best in Shawshank...I'm also middle-aged..."

Before he could finish speaking, Byron, who couldn't help but laugh, cut off the conversation: "As expected of Dufresne, who is planning for a rainy day, but this reasoning is too outrageous..."

Immediately, Mr. Captain said seriously: "Have you really thought about it? You know what I'm asking"

Thinking of the fisherman that Jimmy found by following the clues, Andy faced the scrutiny of his friends, and he nodded and confirmed: "Yes, sir, I believe in you."

The two of them tacitly agreed, leaving this cell with unique wall materials, it was impossible for Andy to go back to the original retreat.

The great joy of reversing the plot almost went to Byron's mind.Fortunately, his expressionless cold face was still tense, but the hands placed under the table trembled uncontrollably.

How much he wished to tell Andy: "Your choice is right, I have already found the murderer, and the truth will definitely be revealed to the world."

But he couldn't explain why he was able to learn that Du Fulan, as a party involved, didn't know the case information, so he had to swallow thousands of words back into his belly, waiting for a more complete chain of evidence to surface.

He got up quickly, almost bringing down the chair by the corner of his clothes, and excitedly took out the roster from the shelf, and handed it to Andy: "You can choose by yourself, you can live in any room you want, and it's good to find someone you know as a roommate... Oh, forget it, Ellis, I'm already arranging his parole."

Hearing this, the banker frowned, and squeezed out a dimple on the side of his mouth: "Even if Rhett is still there, I won't move to bother him, he is a complete, lone ranger..."

Pretending to look through it for a while, Andy pointed to the target he had already determined: "Just him, sir, I heard he is a good guy to get along with."

Byron took a closer look and said with a smile, "Okay, you just happened to teach him math. Xiang Hai is a slow-witted kid. I'm really worried that he won't be able to make any money when he goes out to open a shop in the future, and he will pay back!"

Hearing Mr. Captain call the Asian boy's name familiarly, Andy's sapphire-like eyes dimmed slightly. He pursed his lips and took a deep breath, quietly diverting the topic elsewhere.

The god in charge of rain has been especially kind to Maine this year. Not only is the summer too humid, but even the first snow came quite early.

In the past autumn, the livestock on the Shawshank Farm have put on several layers of fat.Therefore, as soon as the trading market opened, these high-quality cattle and sheep were turned into a lot of real money, which made Warden Norton overjoyed.

And looking at the account, [-]% of the funds were divided in an instant, and Byron had nothing to say to his ugly boss.

If there is no hint of the plot falling from the sky, Mr. Captain will probably be there, the first time he gets the qualification of a registered architect, and free his hand to "please go" Warden Norton.

Changing to a more reliable person can create a quiet and safe environment for Du Fulan, who needs to serve ten years in prison before he can be released on parole.

However, the investigation of Elmore Bletch is now entering a critical stage. Byron had no intention of creating an accident, so he used Chinese characters on the straw paper and wrote over and over again: [The boss is greedy and can't bear it. There is no need to bear it anymore. Resignation is just around the corner]

After venting, Mr. Captain felt much better. He folded the paper casually and walked briskly to the cafeteria.

Guan Xianghai was correcting the action of the inmates chopping vegetables. He raised his eyes and saw Captain Hadley, and said loudly: [Sir, why are you here?Have you had lunch?Let me make you a bite now]

Byron looked around, everything was in order, and nodded secretly: "You are young, you can really hold the scene, it seems that you don't have to worry too much about him opening a shop."

Greeting the boy over, he asked in a low voice: [Red is outside, how is your cooperation with you]

As soon as the black elder was mentioned, Guan Xianghai tapped his hands and said with a smile: [Mr. Reid has nothing to say, as expected, he was a marketing manager in a big company in his early years...

Just the stir fry made by my family members has been promoted to three or five blocks by him, and now I see more customers every day than in the previous two months]

[That's good, it seems that when these Peking ducks grow up, I can also eat roast ducks cooked by the descendants of the royal chef in Maine]

From self-produced and sold meat sources, to highly skilled chefs, plus a distribution team familiar with local roads, Byron's Chinese restaurant planning is more than killing two birds with one stone.

[Hehe, everything is ready, the only thing I owe is...] Guan Xianghai shyly pulled the chef's hat on his head, and whispered: [Sir, can our restaurant be named after you? 】

Frightened by these words, Byron waved his hands again and again: "Hadley's Chinese restaurant? This is neither Chinese nor foreign, absolutely not!"

Guan Xianghai also switched back to English: "But, everyone knows that without you, we would not be able to open this restaurant. Mr. Hadley, please give us a chance to repay your kindness..."

Gritting his teeth and thinking for a moment, Byron said: [How about this, my Chinese teacher... surnamed Jiang, why not call it Jianghai Restaurant]

【Eh?The name sounds grand, so it's a deal! 】

That night, Guan Xianghai was very happy, lying on the not soft bed, thinking about the future of realizing the dream of his parents, when he suddenly heard a series of footsteps.

Stretching his neck to look, he saw Andy walking over with a heavy dictionary in his pocket. Guan Xianghai wailed: "Mr. Andy! Please let me go, I'm just a cook... I don't care about this advanced vocabulary. I don’t necessarily understand it either!”

Three months ago, when a well-known banker asked him with a Chinese-English textbook he found somewhere, Guan Xianghai, who had never been consulted by a foreigner, still took a bit of pride, so that he could be a teacher.

However, with the prison library supported by government funds, the internal collection of books has become more and more abundant, and the progress of the other side can be described as rapid progress.

When Andy recognized the basic vocabulary and began to ponder the grammar and syntax, he was really speechless when faced with difficult problems such as 'the position of function words and how to reflect the tense change'.

After all, on the one hand, the sentence structure of Chinese is much more random than that of English; on the other hand, he traveled across the ocean with his parents since he was a child, and has never studied seriously. He doesn't know why, and all of them are fixed collocations!

"I only asked two words today, and I didn't find them in the dictionary..." As he said, Andy handed over a small note.

Guan Xianghai decided to make a quick decision, turned over from the bed and bounced up, trying to identify the unattractive square characters of the other party: "Just around the corner, oh, it should mean right away, soon"

"Greedy, hey, I'm sure of this, officials are worthy of this word, embezzling other people's property, it's so bad!"

"Because of Norton's evil deeds, he will leave soon, that's it..." Andy connected the thoughts in his heart, and thanked his roommate gently.

"It's a big deal, you're welcome, Teacher Andy saves me a few math problems, just..."

The carefree Guan Xianghai fell asleep quickly, unaware that another person in the room was leaning against the head of the bed and opening his eyes until dawn.

The author has something to say:
